What are the homes like?

Teachers homes will vary, but all will be of good quality (comfortable and clean with all the basic necessities). Many homes provide luxury accommodation or extra facilities. A teacher may live on their own or with their families. Students usually get full board (three meals a day) and always eat with the teacher or family. Students get their own room where they can relax, study and sleep. (Sometimes students can choose to stay in a twin room if they are studying as a pair). Students will have access to most of the facilities at the home, but should always check with their host teacher.

What's the food like?  

All the food is homemade with fresh produce. We try to let you sample real Italian food such as: lasagne, ravioli, pesto, ragù, parmigiana, tiramisù, pizzas, etc... Vegetarian meals are available on request.

What about free time?

Students can use their free time however they choose. There are usually many things to do and plenty of places to visit in Tuscany. Teachers will always give the student plenty of advice and in many cases will accompany them out on some afternoons or evenings.

Pick-up Service

A member of staff will welcome the students on arrival at the station or at the airport and will take them to their teacher's house. This service should be requested when the application form is first submitted and is available between 6am and midnight. The charge for this service vary according to the distance between the airport/station and the teacher's house.
